The Celadon Game Corner (Japanese: タマムシゲームコーナー Tamamushi Game Corner) is a Game Corner located in the southeastern part of Celadon City.
In Generation I and its Generation III remakes, it is known as the Rocket Game Corner (Japanese: ロケットゲームコーナー Rocket Game Corner) due to it being controlled by Team Rocket.
In the games
The Celadon Game Corner contains several games inside depending on the generation, including slot machines, Card flip, and Voltorb Flip, though the player needs a Coin Case to participate in any of them. Winning at these will award the player with coins he or she can exchange for prizes at the Prize Corner next door, including rare Pokémon such as Dratini and Porygon, as well as rare TMs and hold items. While it seems to be a popular spot for travelers and tourists, the citizens take pride in the city's beauty and think the casino is bad for its image.
In the Generation I games and FireRed and LeafGreen, this Game Corner is run by Team Rocket and is instead called Rocket Game Corner (Japanese: ロケットゲームコーナー Rocket Game Corner), sporting the catchphrase "The playground for grown-ups!" Under the casino is the Kanto region's Rocket Hideout, with a staircase leading to it hidden in the upper-right corner. The player must gain access to the hideout in order to defeat Team Rocket and obtain the Silph Scope, by defeating a Team Rocket Grunt and pressing a hidden switch underneath the poster he was guarding. In the Generation II games and HeartGold and SoulSilver, the casino is no longer run by Team Rocket and their hideout is inaccesible, but several characters make references to its existence three years prior.
In FireRed and LeafGreen, there is a Pokémon Printer in the corner of the building which takes a photo of the player's current Pokémon party to put on the back of the Trainer card.
In non-Japanese versions of HeartGold and SoulSilver, the Celadon Game Corner is owned by Mr. Game, who runs the Voltorb Flip minigame.
The sign outside the Celadon Game Corner has changed with each generation.

Service desk
The service desk, featured in Generations I-III and Japanese versions of HeartGold and SoulSilver, is attended by two women. The woman on the left welcomes players and tells them that coins can be exchanged for prizes next door, while the woman on the right sells coins at the following rates:
Games
Slot machines
- Main article: Slot machine
There are thirty slot machines in the Game Corner, with eight of them having people already seated at them, one that is labeled "out of order," one labeled "reserved," and one where someone left their keys.
Payouts
There are thirty slot machines in the Game Corner, with eight of them having people already seated at them.
One to three coins can be put in the slot machine each play. One coin will only count the center row across, two coins will count all three rows across, and three coins will count all three rows across as well as both diagonals. The reels stop spinning when the A button is pressed.
The posters are still there, but there is nothing behind them.

Celadon Game Corner in Generation III
The only games available are slots, which people in the game say are rigged. There are thirty slot machines, with eight of them already occupied, one labeled "out of order", one labeled "reserved," and one where someone left their keys.
One to three coins can be put in the slot machine each play. One coin will only count the center row across, two coins will count all three rows across, and three coins will count all three rows across as well as both diagonals. The reels stop spinning when the A button is pressed.
The machine with the best odds is at the far left, directly beneath the lady in that aisle.
Payouts
Card flip
- Main article: Card flip
The card flip game is exclusive to Generation II. Players can pick either a card or a group of cards, similar in nature to Roulette, which was included in Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald. In playing card flip, players place bets on cards that may be flipped over. The deck used contains 24 cards: each one has both a number (between one and six) and a picture of a Pokémon (either Pikachu, Jigglypuff, Oddish, or Poliwag). Once twelve cards have been drawn, the deck will be reshuffled. Bets can be placed on a single card, on a single column, on a single row, on a pair of columns, or on a pair of rows.
Voltorb Flip
- Main article: Voltorb Flip
Much like the Goldenrod Game Corner and European Platinum's Veilstone Game Corner, the slot machines in the Celadon Game Corner have also been replaced by Voltorb Flip for all versions of HeartGold and SoulSilver released outside of Japan. The reason for the change comes from the implementation of more aggressive and stricter legislation in the European Union towards gambling. Voltorb Flip was described in a pre-release review as "a cross between Picross and Minesweeper". It features a five-by-five grid of tiles, underneath of which are hidden numbers (which multiply the player's score if located) and Voltorb (which Selfdestruct and cause the player to lose all points gained in that round). The player can easily figure out where the Voltorb are located by using the clues provided: the number of Voltorb in each line and column are noted at the side of the screen.

Prize corner
The women in this building to the right of the Game Corner will exchange coins for prizes. In Generation IV, only the booths are visible.
In Generation IV, there is a man who will tell the player what type Hidden Power would be if their Pokémon knew it.
This is an analogy to pachinko parlours in Japan. It is forbidden by Japanese law to directly pay out cash for pachinko balls or tokens, but this regulation is often circumvented as (legally independent) exchange shops are set up nearby, where the players can redeem the prizes for cash.[1]

In the manga
In the Pokémon Adventures manga
The Rocket Game Corner has appeared in Tauros the Tyrant, A Jynx Jinx and in A Tale of Ninetales in the Red, Green & Blue arc. There is a switch that Team Rocket use to get to the Rocket Hideout. Red and Green watched ouside in the second appearance and used Green's Ditto as a decoy disguised as Mew.
In the game corner's next appearance, Blue cashed in a huge amount of coins to exchange for an almost untamable Porygon (which later made Red and Blue "trade" Pokémon temporarily).
Trivia
- In Generations I and III, the Gym guide of Celadon Gym can be found playing the slot machines, instead of advising the player on how to defeat Erika.
- In Generations II and IV, if the player examines the poster, the text will say that there's nothing there, a reference to the switch in Generations I and III.
